RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, OCTOBER 6, 1870.

Watch and work! This should be the motto of every republican in Jasper OMunCy on next Tuesday. The contest in Jasper county will center upon the candidate for governor of Indiana, upon congressman, representative in the legislature, prosecuting attorney, county treasurer and commissioner in the first district. Every democrat in the county who is well enough will J»e oat to the polls to vole and to work. Every democratic vote will be cart for, the democratic state ticket, for the democratic candidate for congress, tor the d mocratie candidate for the legislature, for the democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, for the independent candidate for county treasurer and for the democratic candidate for commissioner in the first district. No votes can be safely spared on these offices. Republicans can not afford to trade their votes on the candidates for these positions. Forewarned is forearmed. Be careful of your ballots, and Jasper county will give her old-time republican majorities. Be true to your principles, work with seal and prudence, and every man on the republican ticket will be elected. Up, boys, and at them once again.,

Soldier citisena of Indiana, a vote cast by you for Hon. James D. Willi a ins for governor is a vote which practically says that the democratic state legislature did right when in 1868 it refused to permit you to vote in the field. Every other State in the Union permitted her soldiery to vote for governor gnd president in 1864. Indi ana alone disfranchised the Boys in Blue. It is the boast of democracy that their candidate for governor haa been In the legislature and in congress for thirty years past. It is a fact that he a member of the Indiana legislature of 1863 whieh disfranchised every citizen of the slate who was absent in the field fighting rebels. It is a fact that Mr. Williams approved that ret of infamy. Among those whom his hatred of the Union and his sympathy for rebels inflicted this outrage upon was gallant Ben. Harrison, now his competitor. While Mr. Williams was opposing the prosecution of the war and consenting to th* disgrace of loyal men Gen. Harrison was fighting gallantly by their side. Without stopping to discuss the respective merits of the men (and certsv ly Gen. Harrison would not suffer from such comparison) which one has the most claim upon your friendship, upon your respect, upon your gratitude?

If democratic newspapers tell the truth Indiana is certain to elect Gen. Ben. Harrison governor. There is not a democratic publics' lion in the state thatdoesnot charge the republican party with importing votes from Kentucky—negro votes—and if their charge is true the state will go republican by 10,000 majority. Of course republicans do not believe the truthfulness of their statements; as they sound like a cry of despair- The democracy know that Harrison will be elected governor, and are preparing further deceptions for tbeii followers in order to hold them to to the ticket in November. Hence thia charge of Importation. After the result of next Tuesday is published democratic papers will say that the imported colonies have returned home, and by united eff rt the state may be carried for Tilden in November. But this is not U ue. The state of Indiana will not give its electorial vote to Mr. Tilden. The republicans w»U' carry the elections bore next Tuesday by a handsome majority, and in November will give Mr. Hayes 10/100 majority. And this result will not he accomplished by illegal voting, either; but will be a fair expression of the pivople wbo are riot

WATCH AND WORK!

ready 10 hazard the welfare of the nation by entrusting its custody with the same old political organisation which so recently attempted to compass its destruction. And there is also another reason for this result. People very naturally look tthe interest of .heir pocket- >, especially when times are and crops sre partial failures, they will not hazard the risk uming the burthen of the payment of additional billions of money for the destruction of property belon«ingto those who were engaged in rebellion against the Union. With A democratic majority in both branches of congress and with Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks elected president and vice president—gentinmen whose acts and words were always in sympathy with the rebels during the war—there is real danger to be apprehended from this source. Hence our confidence that Indiana will pronounce against the democratic party next Tuesday.

Hvu. Anson Wolcott, nominee of the independent greenback party for governor of Indiana, spoke in court house on Saturday night twan audience of perhaps 200 people. The discussion of abstract theories neyer elicits much enthusiasm among the mans of mankind, although the argument be ever so ihgenius. Mr. Wolcott is a dignified gentleman bF commanding perFonal appearance, a man of abil* ity who would, no doubt, do honor to the gubernatorial chair. There is po question as to his ability or integrity. There is also no question abouthis certain defeat. Pi-r-S illy we entertain the friendliest ings for Mr. Woleott, but can piqt agree with his financial doc •Brine. VAt the close of Mr. Wolcott’s address, Dr. Samuel W. Ritchey was called out by the audience, and responded in his customary hum or ou 8 vein. Taken altogether the meeting was a pleasant one, though the attendance was not large, and democrats and republicans unite to congratulate their independent neighbors upon the sin cerity of their leaders though they doubt the logic of their arguments. Unfortunately for Mr. Wolcott and his followers the currency question is considered by the great mass of voters as secondary in importance this political campaign. So long as the democratic party is a standing menace to “republican form of "government, and so long as it "pet petu-atea old traditions, insists "upon coming into power, trium"phaut, with music playing, ban“ners flying, exulting in ail it has "done, regretting all that it has “failed lb prevent” the mass of the loyal sentiment of the country, north and south, will consider that a paramount political issue, and until this great organised evil is swept from existence they will give less attention to what they consider questions of minor importance.

The reunion of democratic -Con-federate-reform soldiers, which is Iq be held at Indianapolis to-day, promises to be largely attended by Naw York bummers, Kentucky repeaters, and voting “cattle” from all ov < the country. These notorious ballot box stuffera are furnished tree transportation upon this occasion over the various railroads leading into Indianapolisall expenses to be paid out of Tilden’s “bur’l o’ mone}”—and they are to be distributed around over thestate just as Mr. Tilden’s agents think they can be used to the best advantage. The democracy of Indiana see defeat staring them in the face, for they very well know that a fair election will result in the success of the republican ticket. Mr. Tilden very well knows that if the republicans) are victorious in Indiana next Tuesday, his defeat is certain in November} for the fight in this state is looked upon as being the decisive one for bis cbmroew <yf election *r defen* next

month. If the democratic parly is successful in Indiana next Tuesday, hie chance* for elertion will be increased ‘Just that much; but if the republican party Is victorious in thia great struggle, Mr. Tilden may as well bang up his fiddle. It is a knowledge of all these facts that drives him to such measures of dewperation and lawlessness, and, therefore, he will employ both bls means and talents to secure the defeat of the republican party in this state next Tuesday, by attempting the groM'trands which have been practiced in his own state for many years. Then let every republican in Jasper couuty ueryehimself fortheconleau Work with sealous determination to win in this great strife of right against wrong, a cause upon one side of which is arrayed the toiling millions, and upon the other side Samuel J. Tilden with his ‘•bar’l o’ money” and host oi Tainmany roguesand political tricksters. Republicans, be up and doing. Let none be caught napping upon the verge of such an important election; but go to the polls early, watch and work, and if the enemy’a intended frauds are attempted, nip them in the bud, and by so do ing show to Tilden and his artful ballct-box atuff-ra that their frauds will not be tolerated, and that their false pretense* of reform can’t win In the prondTatnte of Indiana.

Do you want lo vote for a man who cbargeu a po r man $4 for keeping a small drv»« of lurksys Hire* dsya?— Htmingttm Rec<a?d. Certainly not. That man ought to be fined and imprisoned for two years and six days. No man who boards a small drove ot turkeys three days for less than fifi.37| Ims a trace of financial acumen iu his composition. In ihyee hard times Che men we masses 'ou/ht to vole tor are those who know the value of money, a«»d loan it to poor piep at eighteen percent, interest per annum, inleiest payable quarterly in advance. The men who should be elected to make laws for us are those who violate existing laws daily—especially the usury laws. Independents say they have no expectation of carrying the state next Tuesday, butthat they wish to establish a nucleus vote for future operations. This being the case and they being patriotic citizens it is reasonable to presume they will make a choice between .the men have a prospect of bring elected governor, and crystalixe their nucleus around a candidate for congress, who alone has the power to promote their financial views. Every independent of democratic antecedents is morally certain to vote for Mr. Williams for governor; why not the independ ents of republican principles vote for gallant Ben. Harrison I

Fine-spun theories of politicians on the financial and currency question, lend more to aggravate the situation and confuse the mind than to publio enlightment. Those who favor the greenback policy have little to expect froqi the succeae of the democracy, in consequence of the want of harmony in that party on the question of currency, and ibe pronounced hostility of Mr. Tilden, who has amassed his millions by his devotion to the bondholder. The tardy action of the House on the repeal of the clause fixing a date in the resumption act, and the opposition it received from the democrats, illustrates the position of th st party.

Gen. Harrison will complete bis labors for the campaign •• Lebanon next Monday—the day. before the state election. The gallant General bas made a pretty thorough canvass of the state, and the effects ot his labors will be to resone the state from the control of the democracy and place her upon the roll of republican states, where she once stood, by a majority ,of from 8,000 to in.ooo vote?.

Arter the votes are oounted out next Tuesday, and it to aeeertetoed that the whole repnMfoan statS ai d county ticket is elected by a h*bdsome majority, may H -be swid of every man who has taken an earnest, active part In thecane ass, and who has labored untiringly <0 saenre that reanlt, may it be Sard of every one of them, well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast fought the good fight and kept the faith, now enter into the joy* prepared tor thee, and reel from thy Irbors. This season of political excitement iweident to state and presidential elections, has a telling effect upon-slate-and county fairs and expositions. The most nnsncoessful state fair ever-held In Indiana, was the one recently .held st Indianapolis. .Outside of the live stock show it was a cumplete failure. The. gross receipts of the week were only 14,800, and the managers find themselves >B,OOO behind. Surely this Is not a good year -for fairs in Indisna.

Mr. Bayard said in his speech >«t •he opera honee in Indianapolis last Friday night, to an audience of three or 'our hundred people, that “he had met these grand uprisings of the people everywhere in the state.** Uhe had been greeted by snch audieneea as »Gen. Harrison addressed in Rensselaer, or as the gallant general meets everywhere he speaks, then 'Mr. Bayard might properly call them “uprisings.” The Moody and Sankey revival meetings in Chicago are now iu progress, the initiatory services being held in ths great Tabernacle ereel ed for that purpose, last Bunday. The vast auditorium was Sited to ice B(E»oat capacity ant rhousauds were hnable 10 gain admission. Their labors promise to be rewarded with abundant fruit in the conviction and conversion of sinners in that stronghold ot Satan.

Voorhees ways that Hayes is ths weakest man the republioanAcoald have nominated. Pendleton,Thnr--111 an and ‘•Rise-up” William Allen will sing quite a different tune. They know Just how wesk Gov. Hayes is for they have tested his weakness and found it to bo too much tor their strength. The political skies in Jneper connty present a remarkably Ilayeb y Appearance and indications are favomble or the. <gseatest shower of repub lean votes at the ballot box next Tuesday, and also in November, ever before known in the history of the county. If Mr. Bayard call* four hundred peonle an “nprising,” what would he term the recent republican rally al Batt'e Ground, where 20,000 assembled to hear the ciplos of republicanism advocated. If every republican will do hie duty by hi.* principles on next Tuesday, Jasper county wiHgive Gee. Ben Harrison five hundred majority. Let as all work together. Have every republican out to the polls. The Indianapolis Senliaei says that “Young Tippecanoe is a failure.” Set that “failure” down as the next governor of Indiana by at least 5,000 majority.
